What I wrote about Demon's Souls is opinion. If you disagree then that's OK. I respect that. The rest of what I wrote is (mostly) fact.
Anyway I didn't say that Demon's Souls is a bad game, I said I hated it. Which isn't the same thing. Demon's Souls is what it is. And if you like that sort of thing then it's obviously a great game. I was merely offering the TC a second opinion, as I feel DS is a game that most traditional JRPG fans will absolutely hate. Unless of course they are fanboys that blindly praise anything that is exclusive to the PS3, which is unfortunately true for a depressingly large percentage of the JRPG community.
As for "bosses that can be killed from a safe spot with ranged attacks" I don't remember all the exact details. I do remember that the level 4 end boss (the big stingray) could be killed safely from the house using that storm sword. The boss before that can be easily killed with arrows by moving in and out of a safe spot at the top. I killed the swamp female end boss from a safe spot with arrows. The boss before that could be killed by strafing in and out of a safe spot, and the boss before that could be killed with both magic and arrows from a platform above. I killed the 1-2 dragon with with arrows from a safe spot. There were more, but that's all I can remember from the top of my head. The bosses that couldn't be killed this way were in general very easy to beat. The only boss that gave me some troubles was the fire beast.
